she stands on the corner shouting his name
he used to run his fingers through her hair
she’s made her choice to be a whore
and he tells himself not to care
’cause if he turns to face her calling
it won’t matter how sincere
he knows that eventually
she’ll end up right back here
so why does he lay down his heart to break?
why does he love for lovings sake?
he made a promise and every day he makes it true
maybe one day, maybe she’ll love him too
he adores the memories
the first laugh, the innocent kiss
he knows that sometimes
she forgets that he exists
she still says that she needs him
shows up drunk at his front door
he knows she’s only lonely
like a thousand times before
